Although Echo rules the market and is speculated to capture 63% of the us market this year, according to eMarketer, it has lost some ground to rivals which deliver better audio quality.

The current Echo and Echo Plus now sit between cheap, yet small smart speakers like its own Echo Dot, and the Google Home Mini, and larger, more expensive models like Apple's HomePod, the Google Home Max, and the Sonos One. Google has done quite well for itself with a market share of 31 percent. Apple's HomePod hasn't sold as well as Cupertino had hoped, recently prompting the company to lower its price. Bloomberg is reporting that Amazon is building a new Echo that will offer premium sound.

Amazon is planning to introduce improved quality speakers and is also moving fast towards its work on the home robot. The Echo range will likewise get minor updates this fall, individuals acquainted with the plans said.
